Financial support

Master's students pursuing the thesis option, Plan A, are eligible to apply for department assistantships, which may be either teaching assistantships or research assistantships. If you are selected for an assistantship, you will receive additional details about your funding package at that time.

Teaching assistants work under the supervision of department faculty and may be asked to teach recitation sections or laboratories, help with grading and develop course materials and exams. Research assistants also work with faculty and may be asked to conduct experiments, implement prototype systems, develop new theories, and attend conferences or publish work in scholarly journals.
